Multiple 'Site Links' dashlets

[mtrunyan]

Hi, we would like two or more instances of a "Site Links" dashlet inside a single site dashboard.  This would enable us to categorize links into separate dashlets.  However when adding a second dashlet, the existing dashlet links are copied to the new dashlet, i.e. a copy is made instead of instantiating a new set of links.  Can this be remedied?

Thanks for spotting this… I've raised https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-19496 to address this problem and it will be fixed soon.

Actually, I might have been premature in saying that this was a genuine bug (it was only because I was fixing something similar the other day for another issue). The Site Links dashlet shows the links that are configured within the Site (you can view all the links by customizing the site and adding the "Links" page to the site. The dashlet simply allows you to create and manage links without adding that page to the site. So that dashlet is actually working as designed… however, I'll check that all the other dashlets can still have multiple separate configurations where appropriate.

Couple comments on this post:

1. Any new information on how to use 2 unique and independent site links dashlets. May be a deal killer if we can't figure out how to have more than one site links dashlets working independently.

2. Is there a way to surface the full contents(files) of a folder located in the Doc Library on the Site Dashboard. That could fix #1 above for us.

Thanks for any help you can offer.
